Текст песни Help Me Understand

Chorus
[sung]
A little girl prayed at the close of the day,
Cause her daddy had gone far away,
On her little face was a look of despair,
I stood there and listened, and I heard this prayer
My mommie says daddy has brought us to shame
And Im never no more to mention his name
Lord take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Oh heavenly father help me understand

[recitation]
You know friends I wonder--
Just how many homes are broken tonight
And just how many tears are shed
By some little word of anger
That never should have been said

Id like to tell you a story
Of a family I once knew.
Well call them mary and william
And their little daughter sue

Now mary was just a plain mother
And bill was just a usual dad
And they had their little family quarrels
(like everybody else)Hank Williams - Help Me Understand - http://ru.motolyrics.com/hank-williams/help-me-understand-lyrics.html
But neither one really got mad

Then one day something happened
It was nothing of course
But one word led to another
And the last word led to a divorce

Now here were two grown up people
Who failed to use common sense
They strengthened their own selfish pride
At little sues expense

You know she didn't ask to be brought to
This world
To drift from pillar to post
But a divorce never stops to consider
The ones it hurts the most

Thered be a lot more honest loving
In this wicked ole world today
If just a few parted parents
Could hear little sue say

[sung]
Take me and lead me and hold to my hand
Oh heavenly father, help me understand
